Valentine's Trip
My wife and I spent several days around Valentine's day this year at the Excelsior Hotel. We had wanted to stay somewhere on the Upper West side of NYC for some time and we were completely satisfied with the Excelsior Hotel's accomodations, service from the Staff, and convenient location. We will definately stay there again.

Carmine's Italian restaurant was a wonderful experience. This family style restaurant is all about good food and fun. They do not accept reservations on the weekend. If you plan on going, please be hungry!

Lovely hotel opposite Natl Hist Museum
I had a fabulous large queen-sized room with "living area," plus little balcony. Lots of light, quiet room. Nicely appointed, great location, one block from CPW and C train. Lots of restaurants nearby on Columbus and Amsterdam.

New York
The hotel is in the Upper West Side of Manhattan right across the street from Central Park on W 81st Street and Columbus. The neighborhood had great shopping and restaurants all around. Only a 10-15 cab ride to Midtown/Times Square. Staff was friendly, courteous, and probably has the best concierge in the city.

Good family location, good value
Clean, well-run, convenient and good value. This is not the Pierre, but it's not four figures a night either.

Short drive from hotel
Don't forget some of the Museums are open late (9pm) on Fridays (Metropolitan, Pierpont Morgan Library, etc.), and cocktails/evening viewing is a lovely way to start the weekend.

Great location Fine Hotel(some oddities)
Fine hotel, great spot, but there were a few oddities. They serve breakfast but no room service. The guy manning the breakfast station was wearing a t-shirt and did not look like he was affiliated with any hotel, much less that one. Great location and the room and cable were fine though. One final shout out to the guy who manned the front desk all weekend (Lynn, was his name), try not to be a jerk you're whole life. Get out of the service industry.

The Excelsior is a older hotel
The Excelsior is a older hotel in an excellent location on the Upper West Side of NYC. Despite the fact that the hotel is older, it is very well kept up and has atmosphere of quiet elegance. The rooms are very well maintained and will meet the needs of most guests. One of the elevators was broken on departure on Sunday morning--and that was a big hassle. The price of the lodging is rather expensive for what you get--in my opinion, you are paying for the excellent location and not too much else.

Clean...great location..NO BEDBUGS
Went with grown daughter, had room with twin beds, room was extremely small, but exceptionally clean with no sign of bedbugs. Location right next to Museum of Natural History, prime location. Staff friendly and helpful and I had requested late check-in and it was no problem. Would definitely stay here again. The only complaint is that the room was extremely warm and I had no control over temperature as there was no individual thermostat.

nice room, bad service
I went there with my mom. The room was nice and the location was great. They have some snobby staff that made me and mom very upset. They weren't really helpful. The price doesn't match with their service but only for the location.
